Iman's insides were turning to clouds again. Julien asked her, ducking his head and looking at her from underneath his eyelashes, "Am I happy in your present, Im?" She hesitated. "I don't know," she said, but she had no way to know if he heard it, because by then time had already called her back. ---- Time is a different beast for Iman and Julien. A natural-born time traveler, graduate student Iman Patel loses her grip on the present often enough that it's nearly part of her routine. More often than not, her travels land her at one yellow door-a door belonging to vampire Julien Morales's apartment. The two find themselves captured in an unusual friendship spanning many decades and locations, until they one day meet again in the present. As a strange illness threatens Julien's food supply and Iman's time traveling becomes threateningly unpredictable, Julien, Iman, and their friends may be facing the end of life as they've known it. Loyalties are rearranged, morality is questioned, trust is betrayed. Can the bond between Julien and Iman stand the test of time? --Some language. As always, please like and comment if you enjoy!--

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)
